PiBoIdMo 2011 Prize List

I bet you feel like a winner just because you have a journal full of ideas!

But hey, you get some swell SWAG, too. (Well, it’s not stuff WE ALL get, it’s stuff WE SOME get, but SWSG is too hard to say.)

All winners will be randomly selected on DECEMBER 8TH from the WINNER’S PLEDGE post. You must have SIGNED IN at the beginning of PiBoIdMo and SIGNED THE WINNER’S PLEDGE by DECEMBER 7th to be eligible. Your name must be in both places. (Sorry, there’s gotta be rules sometimes.)

Each grand prize winner will be paired with an agent. The winners will send their 5 best ideas (written as pitches) to their agent and the agent will respond with brief feedback suggesting which ideas are the best to pursue as manuscripts.

The following prizes have been generously donated, so please, if you like what you see, visit the shops and browse. If you don’t win on December 8th, consider making a holiday purchase from these lovely literary-savvy vendors!

PHEW! I think that’s it. I might find more stuff under my bed, though. Speaking of bed, goodnight PiBoIdMo’ers! And thanks once again for making this event a huge success. Give yourselves a nice pat on the back—and speaking of bed again—a good night’s sleep! You deserve it!

Tara, this has turned into the most amazing and generous event! Not only do we get to learn as we go, there are prizes at the end.

It is as you said, I feel like a winner already with all the picture book ideas generated this month.
Saying thank you is hardly enough, but THANK YOU, Tara Lazar! (And everyone else involved this year.)
Blessings.

I hereby promise that if any of my picture book ideas generated during this month, leads me to a published book, I will offer you an extra prize next year to add to the pot, Tara :-) Even without winning any of the prizes, your initiative has already helped me so much, I can’t wait to pay it forward…..

Wow, those are fantastic prizes! But as others have said, the real prize is having participated, having all those new ideas come bubbling to the surface, and becoming involved in such a great community. Thank you, Tara!

Wow, what a list! Ditto what everyone else said ;0 And for sure, if any one of my tiny little sparks turns into a published flame, by golly, you bet I’ll toss it into your prize heap for future PiBoIdMo’s. The very idea makes me swoon! Congratulations everyone!

It has been an incredible experience being able to soak in the positive energy and creativity of like minded people in PiBoIdMo world. And now the icing on the cake is that there are STILL prizes to be won! Woot! Woot!

Wow, Tara – just when I’ve been boasting to anyone who will stand still long enough to listen that PiBoIdMo has been its OWN reward… the tantalizing possibility of juicy, sweet SWAG! Creativity and all this, too. You have created a monster… appropriate, considering your new book coming out… and I’m in love with the monster and his entire clan. :)

Yes, yes, it was great fun. I’ve got 32 and one idea is about whipped into shape. & the others are all tapping their toes in anticipation. This is my birthmonth and I have a nice burst of energy and enthusiasm.
Getting an agent/publisher to have a look-see would be cartwheel-causing!
(Hope springs eternal…)

Thank you Tara and thank you to all of those who created the wonderful articles to inspire and inform us all!

I do have a question; are we officially signed in and pledged at the end if we said that we had completed the 30 picture book ideas via a posting, or is there some other way we were supposed to log in or register to to that? Thank you again for a great month of writing.
